Mask-Makers of Waswanipi

This week, some students began a multi-step mask-making workshop.

Part 1 - Making Masks

Using plaster cloth, the students made casts of their hands, fingers and faces.

After the masks of hardened, the artists have a chance to decorate. Here's some of the work!

Chantel took this one - capturing the colour and texture of her mask.

Way to go everybody - your masks are beautiful! Now, we're looking forward to making horror movies, doing some storytelling and maybe even a masquerade ball!

Catch that Radio Wave!

Yesterday from 4-5pm the students of Waswanipi once again dominated the local airwaves! They made dedications, took requests and provided some first-hand coverage of last week's science fair. Tune in next Thursday at the same time for more from your favorite DJs!
